musings and observations from the nycstylist team
The dresses worn on the red carpet at the Golden Globes made a loud statement. The men and women of Hollywood all wore black to show their support of the #MeToo movement. Here are some looks from past Golden Globes that resemble those worn this year.
These Spring/Summer 2018 runway looks drew inspiration from works of art. Classic paintings from famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Jackson Pollock have been transformed into garments worn today.
Bridal Fashion Week showcased many classic silhouettes while also incorporating nontraditional twists with capes, trousers and tulle. By utilizing similar trends, designers created diverse looks for every type of bride.

SLEEK SILHOUETTES
There have been quite a few couture gowns featured on the runway the last couple of days. On Day 7, we saw some amazingly crafted dresses that are nothing short of perfection. The heavy beading and embellishment on these pieces make them show stoppers. While tulle has been a prominent trend this past week, these designers created elegant gowns with sleek silhouettes.
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, designers showcased their own vision of modern romance through these captivating gowns. Carmen Marc Valvo, Alice and Olivia, Badgley Mischka and Naeem Khan were a few who embraced the spirit of the holiday.
Inspired by the Costa Rican sunset, Carmen Marc Valvo designed his evening-wear collection with vivid shades of violet, orange, and fuchsia transforming earth-tone hues to represent the disappearing of light into the horizon. Valvo showcased the collection by projecting images of a live photoshoot onto the walls for guests to view.
After being introduced to Salman Rushdie's novel, "The Enchantress of Florence", designer Stacey Bendet was inspired by the narrative to create the Alice and Olivia Fall/Winter collection. Among the Renaissance-inspired gowns, bold textures, and statement prints, the show revealed combined elements of the novel's historic settings, Florence and the Indian Empire.
Designers, Mark Badgley and James Mischka expressed that the Badgley Mischka brand stands for "glamour and fantasy" despite the occasion. This theme is recognizable on the shared runway with both the evening-gown collection and introduction to their formal ready-to-wear line.
Closing the show with a recording of poem "Human Family" by Maya Angelou, the Naeem Khan collection aired a theme of "beauty in diversity". Khan effortlessly weaved alluring leopard-printed gowns, floral overcoats, and sequin fringed boots into his Fall/Winter Collection.
